Sanskrit and latvian

[member]

is bramani an actual Latvian word comparable to Brahmin? Last time I checked Latvians didn't have caste system (and therefore brahmins)?

They really have surnames like Bramanis, Brahmanis, Bramanieks and so on. Skalagrim said me one time that he is not certain about "caste system" but this is well may be and finally he just translated the dayna and no more.

What part is the Lithuanian translation?

Did you at least understand what is discussed in the dayna? We have the answer

[beaver]

What part is the Lithuanian translation?

To avoid talking I will find now the theme with Latvian.

[beaver]

Sājāja bramaņi
Augstajā kalnā,
Sakāra zobenus
Svētajā kokā.
Svētajam kokam
Deviņi zari,
Ik zara galā
Deviņi ziedi,
Ik zieda galā
Deviņas ogas.

Its a translation of one Latvian dayna to Russian. Great dayna. Bramani = brahman

Very meaningful content

I am little bit sceptical about "caste system" in latvian society
And as i know "caste system" originated when proto-iranians
have conquered India,same politics were used in Sparta with local population:lakonians and messenians.Because conquerors were minority and it was necessary for them in order to survive

But anyway because baltic languages are very archaic there are lot of similarities

Its not a ""caste system" in latvian society", its a caste system in arian society. Ьuch earlier. Did someone understand 9x9x9 in the dayna? I know the answer.

Laws akin to apartheid have existed in many societies throughout the world. They usually develop locally, not from continuous cultural practices.
The old English Kingdom of Wessex had such laws, with the conquerors (Saxons) holding a higher place in the eyes of the law than the conquered Britons.
